An English translation that’s as good as the original

Need an English translation you can trust? Forget online translation tools. To convey the nuance, tone and creativity of your text, you need a language expert.

Many of our clients work in the French-speaking world, so this is one of the languages we work with on a daily basis (and it probably helps that we’re a team of French language enthusiasts too). Our team of highly qualified French to English translators has a strong track record of delivering scrupulous and inventive translations for a variety of clients and purposes – from top-level company communications to academic papers and creative projects.

Different linguistic readerships or contexts can also call for different considerations: our transcreation service can help you develop the English in whatever direction you need.

Our in-house team speaks both English and French, so we’re happy to liaise in whichever language you prefer. Tate & Clayburn also provides translation in conjunction with proofreading, copywriting and design for clients in search of a one-stop shop.
